The City Manager replied it was a 1/8 page ad in a publication put out by the Civil Air Patrol; a donation requested for activities of Civil Air Patrol. The City Manager stated the Council has a $2,000.00 budget which covers this type of item. Motion by Councilmember Grant, second by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, to approve Check Register No. 17408. Mayor Matteson opened the meeting for public participation. Tony Petta Mr. Petta stated he appreciated the Mayor reading the 11875 Eton Dr. proclamation of the Constitution and the importance of remembering the fact that, we the people refer to the government of the people by and for the people. He also stated the importance of government meetings being opened to the public. He stated that last Monday evening, he attended the Planning Commission Meeting and made reference to the Forest City Dillon Project. He stated the public was not properly notified of such an important meeting. He stated the newspaper should have carried the notice for the public's benefit. He stated this Phase I project went before the Planning Commission and was denied. He voiced his many concerns about the impact the apartment will have on Mt. Vernon and the density being the greatest. The developer appealed and went before the City Council and the City Council addressed only one of the problems, which was density. They felt this was the main issue and, therefore, the City Council approved the whole project. He stated the developers submitted a plan to the Planning Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 2 Commission last Monday for 308 units, in addition to the original 248 units. Their project chose not to consider the conditions of the ordinance. He stated this was approved by the Planning Commission and will come before Council. Mr. Petta stated Phase I already has 248 units approved, which apparently will be built, 96 units will be built in the Britton area and that already is too much. He stated it will severely impact Mt. Vernon. He stated as long as the City Council understood the concerns of the people west of the freeway, and did away with not only the project, but the zone, that sets the precedents and, therefore, it would be wise to do the same on Mt. Vernon. Councilmember Grant stated that this will come before the City Council approximately October 24, 1987, or may be as soon as October 8, 1987. The City Manager stated that they will try and have it on October 8, 1987, as most of the groundwork is already set. Councilmember Grant stated he is ready whenever staff feels they are. He stated his suggestion to staff was, in addition to the normally described legal places of notification that it be publicized in the newspapers. Someone has to make an effort to publicize, not only the people that might be affected, but the people from all over Grand Terrace if they are concerned about this need to be notified. He stated he hoped that we would make every effort to let people know. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen reiterated the fact that the Planning Commission made an accurate decision and was very thorough in their study of the facts stating that the denial of the project west of the freeway, was not based on density, but on safety and access of the project. She stated that the Forest City Dillon Project is not a poor quality project, but a quality project by a quality builder. After much discussion, the Planning Commission voted 6 to 1 in favor of the project. She felt it was about time people got concerned about this project, and that only about fifteen people were verbal and stopped it the last time. Mayor Matteson stated it was not the time for an open discussion on this subject, that it will be opened for public discussion at a later date. He stated that maybe the Foothill Journal could carry an article on it. He then asked if there were any other public participation. Debbie Harber Ms. Harber reported the Chamber of Commerce's upcoming installation Dinner on October 24, 1987. On October 31, 1987, they will be having their Chili Cookoff. November 8, 1987, will be the day of the races at Santa Anita. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 3 Ed O'Neal Mr. O'Neal stated two years ago, Grand Terrace enacted the 22608 Minona Dr. first Smoke Control Ordinance in San Bernardino County. In general, every city within the boundary of San Bernardino County, has either enacted or is in the process of enacting a similar program. He stated we will be hearing more about it in November. Mayor Matteson asked if there were any committee reports? Crime Prevention Ms. Sharon Korgan asked Council to donate funds for the Sharon Korgan plaquesfor the Poster and Essay Contest which she allocated Crime Prevention $30.00 a piece for nine plaques. She discussed the program Officer goals for 1987/88. She stated that Council had in their packet a list of the goals she was discussing. She invited Council to the October 19, 1987 Monthly Business Watch Meeting at 7:00 p.m. She also invited Council to the Neighborhood Watch Program on September 30, 1987 at 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room. She thanked Council for the full-time position, which she felt is much needed. She asked Council to please act on the plaques. Mayor Matteson stated he had one question about the plaquesbeing so expensive. Ms. Korgan stated that she geared it a little high. The City Attorney stated there was no action item on the agenda regarding the plaques, therefore, Council could not act on this issue. Mayor Matteson asked that it be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. The City Manager stated that if Council had general concensus that they want to purchase the plaques, we have sufficent funds in our existing budget to buy them. Mayor Matteson stated he felt it was the general concensus, but the cost should be investigated. The City Manager stated he will check out more than one price. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated to keep up the good work. Ms. Korgan informed the Council that Thomas Semph has resigned from the Crime Prevention Committee. CC-87-183 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, second by Councilmember Evans, ALL AYES, to accept the resignation from Thomas Semph,regretfully, and that staff should advertise to accept applications for his replacement. Mayor Matteson asked staff to send a letter of appreciation to Mr. Semph. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked that Mr. Semph be included in the Volunteer Banquet. Mayor Matteson asked if there were any other discussions? Parks and Mr. Buchwalter stated they have a full compliment on the Crime Recreation Prevention Committee with Mr. Semph's resignation and they have Committee parties interested in joining the Committee as active members, Ralph Buchwalter therefore, they will be making an application to fill the 22970 Merle Ct. vacancy immediately. He stated they are presently functioning Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 4 as a full compliment. He stated that Council will have full cooperation from the Crime Prevention Committee, as well as the Parks and Recreation Committee regarding vandalism. Mayor Matteson asked if there were any other oral reports? Parks and Ms. Conley, Chairman of Parks and Recreation Committee stated Recreation that there are three vacancies, due to the resignation of Chuck Committee Percy, Ken Rinderhagen and Louis Galvez. She asked Council to Barbara Conley advertise for vacancies. She also stated that she is meeting with all of the other committees regarding an 1988 Community Events Calendar. COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Matteson asked if there were any Council reports? Councilmember Evans stated he had two items, the first was the Barton Road over -crossing to the I-215 freeway and the congestion. His main concern was the widening of the bridge. He stated that in 1985, our City Engineer sent correspondence to Caltrans concerning widening of the bridge on Barton Road and I-215, and that Caltrans felt there was not enough traffic to warrant their participation. In March 1987, we again, submitted correspondence to Caltrans asking for an update on the situation. He asked if we had received a reply on that. The City Engineer stated we also asked for synchronization of the signals at that time. He stated that in a letter he received last week, Caltrans asked for our traffic data on Michigan and Barton Road to be compared with their traffic data. The comparison would be used in the decision both to widen the bridge and to synchronize signals at these locations. In communication, Caltrans stated the synchronization of the lights would pose no major problem, but that the lights will need to be interconnected with lights on the off -ramp. Councilmember Evans stated he would appreciate receiving any correspondence received since June 1987. The City Engineer stated that the widening of the bridge would be contingent upon the passage of the 1/2 cent sales tax. Councilmember Evans stated he wants to explore the Council's options in case the Bill does not pass. Councilmember Evans stated the second issue is in reference to the Pico Park site. He stated that since we are in dire need of park sites, he asked that staff prepare a timetable which would be utilized to guide the development of that park once we enter into that agreement with Southern California Edison. He would like to see that in conjunction with the signing of that agreement. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 5 Councilmember Grant stated for the record, he represented the cities of San Bernardino County at the Local Agency Formation Commission on September 23, 1987. He stated that he sat in on the Yucaipa Municipal Advisory Council's Open Session on Yucaipa Cityhood on September 24, 1987. He further stated that he has again observed the rubbish on top of Mt. Vernon and advised staff to have it picked -up. He also indicated the parking lot at Stater Bros. Shopping Center needed to be cleaned up. Mayor Matteson directed staff to write a letter to the landlord regarding the clean-up. Councilmember Grant asked if we had received any update from the developer regarding the Westar Project? The City Manager replied we have not received any directly from them, but he will request an update and report back to Council. Councilmember Grant stated he would appreciate it. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated as a piggy -back to the issues made by Councilmember Grant, the lessors pay to have sidewalks and parking lots maintained. She has encouraged them to take some kind of action against Viking Properties to take care of this. She stated that in regard to the Westar Project, we should receive an update at least once a month on where they are. She stated that she attended the Parks and Recreation Committee meeting and one of the big concerns that the Parks and Recreation Committee requested her to bring before Council was the frustration that was felt in not getting information before the fact about the General Plan Update. She stated they wanted to put in a request that they be given the opportunity before it comes to the Council for officially reviewing any recommendations for any place in the City regarding park land so they have some idea of what the General Plan Consultant is considering, like the buying of land, the places that he is identifying as potential sites, so they might address some of the issues in the development of park sites. She stated that was an official request from the Parks and Recreation Committee. She further stated that frustration is starting to come out in the Committees with resignations. These people are giving free of their time and they feel Council is not listening to them. Councilmember Evans stated that he asked staff several meetings ago to coordinate the input of information regarding the Consultant and asked if staff has done so. The City Manager replied that they have not had any direct contact to give to the General Plan Consultant. He felt staff was a little confused as to what contact they wanted the General Plan Consultant to address regarding the park issue. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 6 He stated that when he talked to Mr. Geller, Mr. Geller indicated he was confused as to what context Council wanted addressed. From a General Plan standpoint, the issue of the zoning, applying to land for a park, does not generally fall under the purvue of a general update. Councilmember Evans stated that he was hired as a professional, that he should have formulated a plan for land use in this community and by now this plan should have been forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Committee. He stated that either the plan should be written and delivered to the committee or orally presented, but that it should be a one-on-one communication. He felt it was clear at the time. He stated that the committee should be aware of the plan and be able to share their input before it goes to the Planning Commission or the City Council. The City Manager stated that it was Council's direction to the staff that there would be no direct contact with any citizens or committee members to the General Plan Consultant. With that being the direction you have given to staff, you have already, as a body told us that no one has access and unless Council changes that policy, that is the case. Councilmember Evans asked if any correspondence is being forward to the committee. The City Manager replied, no direct correspondence relating to parks. Councilmember Evans asked has the request been transferred to the Consultant as to Council's concern? The City Manager replied, we have talked to the Consultant and that was the result of the fact stated that he is confused as to what Council wanted to see. He stated the Consultant feels it was not his job to stake out land that the City has no control over and designate it as parkland. Councilmember Evans stated the City does not have control over any land. The City Manager stated that the General Plan Consultant felt, in his professional opinion, that was not the item that should be addressed in a General Plan Amendment. Councilmember Evans stated that he is only 1 of the 5 Councilmembers, that staff should pass it on, that if he does not identify some land, that he will have some hard questions to answer to him and he hopes the Parks and Recreation Committee also. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 7 Councilmember Grant indicated that what he understood the direction to staff to be was that the input to the Consultant from the community would be through the Consultant with the participation of the City Manager and the Planning Director. At no time has this Council stated that the community could not have communication with the Consultant. He stated they hired a Planning Director to plan the community and a City Manager to manage the City and that communication must take place in order for them to work together. Mayor Matteson stated that the Parks and Recreation Committee appealed before Council a few weeks ago asking permission to find a parcel of land. The Mayor stated they were denied the right and they should have let them do it. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen requested that staff find the Minutes where direction was given that only the City Manager would deal with the Consultant. She stated that she felt that other committee's should be allowed to have access to plans and be allowed to give input to those plans. She stated that they should form a citizen committee before the next update to review the plan and save the City $30,000.00, because Council has refused every suggestion the Consultant has made todate. Mayor Matteson asked staff to find the Minutes where the Parks and Recreation Committee was present and asked for permission to find a park site. Mayor Matteson asked the City Engineer what problems there would in putting a stop sign at Main Street at the Michigan crossing. The City Engineer replied that would have to be coordinated with the County of Riverside because that is the boundaries between the two Counties. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that she had talked to Melva Dunlap, Supervisor from Riverside about a piece of correspondence that a lady had received from a supervisor from that district and in the letter he made a remark that it was not serious because someone did not die there. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that by having access to that letter, there would be no problem in getting the stop sign in that location. Mayor Matteson asked about the widening of Barton Road past the freeway down to the next bridge? The City Engineer asked within the current project? Mayor Matteson replied, yes. The City Engineer further stated that it was possible, but there are some right-of-way problems, mainly on the south side of the freeway, but these parties could be approached. He stated that if Council so directed, he would write letters to the people on the west side of I-215 and request that they consider dedicating. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 8 Mayor Matteson asked if that was Council's general consensus to continue with the research? Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked the City Manager if they had funding for a project of this magnitude? The City Manager replied he felt before asking the owners to dedicate, that they should do a study on the cost to find out if they have funding in this fisal year and that Council could go from there. The City Engineer stated that the Assistant City Manager had funds budgeted for improvement on that portion of the roadway and if they combined that with the estimated balance of funds, they could come back to Council with a figure of cost. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that in the widening of Barton Road, there would be excessive expense because of the moving of power poles. Councilmember Evans concurred that they were talking about a lot of money and asked if they were talking about widening from the western side of the bridge to the City limits, is that the intent. Mayor Matteson replied, yes. PUBLIC HEARING It was observed that Hugh J. Grant left the meeting at 7:48 p.m. and returned at 7:54 p.m. Consider extension The Planning Director read the staff report regarding the T.J. T.J. Austyn Austyn extension. Mayor Matteson asked if there were any Tentative Tract questions from the audience regarding this issue? No. 13050 Robert Faries Mr. Faries stated that a meeting should be set up between 12491 Oriole Austyn and the citizens of the surrounding area and also suggested that someone from the City be in attendance to help them understand what is going on. Ed St. Jermain Mr. St. Jermain discussed the report from T.J. Austyn and 12600 Warbler stated there is no downstream storm drain for the water to go into. He stated the hydrology report prepared for T.J. Austyn stated that there is a large amount of off -sight drainage coming from Blue Mountain onto that tract. He made reference to the options stated by the Planning Director. He stated they called themselves the Blue Mountain City, and if we are going to be the Blue Moutain City, then we need to learn to live with Blue Mountain and understand it and the natural forces that interact with it, because if we don't, Blue Mountain is just going to wash us down the mountain. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 9 Mayor Matteson asked if there was anyone else in the audience that wanted to give their comments on this issue. No one desired to do so, so he returned it back to the City Council for their comments. CC-87-184 Motion by Councilmember Evans, second by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, to adopt staff's recommendation, Alternative Number 1 - denying the request for an extension for TM 13050, Phases 5, 6 & 7. Mayor Matteson asked if there was any discussion? The City Attorney asked what notice we gave to the developer or the owners. The Planning Director replied the applicant was notified after the Planning Commission meeting of the scheduling of the meeting and he understood the City Clerk's Office and the City Manager's Office sent a copy of the report to the applicant last week, but that has not been confirmed. Mayor Matteson asked the Planning Director did this expire on September 12, 1987? The Planning Director replied, yes, but the California State Map Act automatically allows for a sixty-day extension, as long as staff from the City receives a request for a extension prior to that date or if Council acts and approves or denies the project. Councilmember Evans stated that the five members of the Council, when a project comes before them, have to rely on the professional experience of all the various agencies for their input from what they base a decision. He stated that he had major concerns as it relates to the topography. He stated there are concerns relating to grading and problems as you get closer to the foot of the hill, the topography and engineering aspect of this project are his primary reasons for requesting denial of the project. Mayor Matteson asked Council to cast their votes. Motion CC-87-184 carried ALL AYES. Mayor Matteson stated the next item is an approval of an Interim Ordinance clarifying GP-87-2 and Z-87-2 the area west of I-215. The City Attorney stated he would read the ordinance and felt it should be an Urgency Ordinance and asked that Council act on it as an Urgency Ordinance and then he read the ordinance. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 10 The Planning Director stated that the Interim Ordinance is to clarify the intent of GP-87-2 and Z-87-2, the intent is that all of the changes that were approved at that time will affect all of the area west of the freeway. Until the City's overall General Plan and map designation are reviewd, this ordinance will not change any of the details of those ordinances or amendments to the General Plan. Mayor Matteson asked as clarification, why doesn't the zoning in the ordinance which was passed affect the whole City? Why are we separating that right now? The Planning Director replied that was suggested by the City Attorney and maybe he should clarify that. The City Attorney stated there are certain portions of the ordinance that could not apply and until such time as the General Plan occurs, those designations don't match what currently exists. The position would be a hunt and peck situation in which you decide and determine in each instant which designation applies and which does not. He felt it would be vulnerable to attack. He stated so that if you disapprove a project, and it's vulnerable, it doesn't take very much of a whiz to notice the area in which he should attack you. He stated he didn't think we wanted the vulnerability to attack from the position the City takes and the approval it grants. Mayor Matteson asked if this ordinance would automatically terminate upon completion of the General Plan? The City Attorney replied, yes, sir. Mayor Matteson asked if there were any questions from the audience? Councilmember Evans asked the City Attorney if he was making this ordinance an Urgency Ordinance, when would the effective date of this ordinance be. The City Attorney replied, immediately upon its adoption. CC-87-185 Motion by Councilmember Evans, second by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, that the City Council adopt staff's recommendation regarding the Urgency Ordinance clarifying GP-87-2 and Z-87-2, the area west of I-215. UNFINISH BUSINESS Update on Noise The Assistant City Manager stated that at the last regular Violation session of the City Council, it was requested that Council be Fieldcrest aprised of the situation concerning the noise that was being Homes generated from the Fieldcrest Property. He indicated there was an update before Council that dealt with the conversation that staff had with Marilyn Dodge and Jim Sims. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 11 Bill Dodge Mr. Dodge handed out a log that he and his wife had kept since 22887 Finch St. the last meeting. He stated there has been some changes, but they were not significant. He stated he tried to call Mr. Neggie, but all he got was an answering machine. In regard to the ditch, he suggested that a Bond be posted by the developer so that it will be completed. Robert Faries Mr. Faries stated the gates around the property are opened at 6:00 a.m. every morning. He stated he was contacted by the City Engineer's Office and that they were going to put in a storm drain ditch, but he was not informed as to when that is going to take place. The City Engineer stated he had a conversation with Mr. Neggie and that ditch would be worked on beginning September 29th and should take no more than two days to complete. Mayor Matteson stated that the ditch is an issue that must get resolved. He stated that we have done our job on the Noise Ordinance and things are getting a little picky. These guys have to get their job done. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen stated that if the project is not completed by winter, the problems they are facing right now are going to be minor to the problems they will have. She further stated she is symphatic with their interrupted sleep and their peace and quiet on Saturdays and Sundays. She does not feel that Fieldcrest has been cooperative, and Council is concerned with the citizens complaints, but not if they have to stand outside and see if they are working. She stated if the deputies are not citing them, then they need to be given redirection. She asked the people how would you like to be house directly behind the underground drain at Cardinal and Warbler when that water comes down that hill; how would you like to be that property owner when that comes down as a sea of mud. She stated that the drainage channel has to be carefully monitored and done quickly; that the developer should be ready with sandbags in that event. Councilmember Grant asked the City Attorney, in reference to the chronological notes presented to him by Mr. Dodge, if City Law has been violated. The City Attorney replied, probably on some of the occasions, but felt the instances had been reduced. For the most part he did not feel that they are construction -oriented offensive noises. CC-87-186 Motion by Councilmember Grant, that Council instruct the City Attorney to provide Council with a recommendation whether they should require posting of a substantial bond to restrain the developer from continuing a nuisance in this regard or to provide them with information whether or not they should have a legal injunction. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 12 Marilyn Dodge Second by Councilmember Evans for purposes of discussion. He asked the City Attorney to define a Temporary Restraining Order and a Bond that Councilmember Grant proposed. The City Attorney replied there is no similarity, the Bond would assure that this would not occur, it would be a voluntary bond. The affective way would be the Temporary Restraining Order. Councilmember Evans went through the log provided by Mr. Dodge and asked the City Attorney in his opinion, which occurrences were actually in violation of the ordinance. The City Attorney stated the occurrences he felt were in violation. Mrs. Dodge stated she felt it asked of them to provide Council with an update, therefore, she took specific notes. Detective Reynosa asked to address the specific date of the 20th of September. He stated that the Sheriff's Officer went out to the site and spoke to the workers. He informed Detective Reynosa as to what his disposition was on that assignment. The Officer advised him that he had not seen either of the two men on prior occasions, so he took the alternative to ask them to leave, which they did. Councilmember Evans stated from reviewing the chronology of those dates where there have been violations, with one exception where the deputies have taken action by initiating a citation. The City Attorney now has to address that in court. Sandy Windbigler Ms. Windbigler stated she does not live in Grand Terrace anymore, but works here and felt the citizens need to be more patient with the developer; as soon as the developers get their work done, they will be on their way. She stated that it is not always the developers fault, sometimes it is the subcontractors fault. Councilmember Grant stated the people have been more than patient. Mayor Matteson stated that if the motion is passed, is that to install an injunction on this tract of homes? If so, the developers better increase the insurance, because when the mud comes down into that tract of homes, the same people are going to come back to Council for restitution. The City Attorney stated he did not believe the motion directed him to to obtain a Temporary Restraining Order. Mayor Matteson asked Councilmember Grant to repeat the motion. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 13 Councilmember Grant stated that this Council instructs the City Attorney to provide Council with a recommendation as to whether they should impose an injunction or whether or not there should be required a legal Bond against the developers to restrain the nuisance. The City Attorney inquired as to whether or not Council would want him to wait until the next Council meeting to seek a Temporary Restraining Order. Councilmember Granted stated, "no." The City Attorney stated if the motion passes, he suggests that rather than reporting back to Council as a whole, because they won't meet for two weeks, that they might want him to report back to either the Mayor or the City Manager. The Mayor asked the City Attorney to explain the motion. The City Attorney stated the motion was for them to report back with the affect of either or both, and his recommendation as to which method should be pursued or to pursue a Temporary Restraining Order and the Bond. Motion CC-87-186 carried ALL AYES. NEW BUSINESS Request for The Assistant City Manager stated the City Council has received No Parking Signs a request from three property owners, whose property is located on Barton Road on Grand Terrace Road, just north of Barton, to delineate certain areas of Grand Terrace Road as "No Parking" areas. He stated staff has gone out and looked at the area and staff has no objection if Council choose to delineate these areas. Mayor Matteson indicated the agenda stated Barton Road, not Grand Terrace Road and asked the City Attorney if there was a problem with that? The City Attorney replied, yes. The Mayor postponed that item until the next Council meeting. Appropriation of The Assistant City Manager stated staff was requested to go funds for the back and research the status of the establishment of a reward establishment system. He stated that at that point and time, there had been of a Vandalism a request made to the City for collection for said reward, but Reward Program if Council so desired the sum of $500.00 be appropriated and set aside and utilized for that purpose. CC-87-187 Motion by Mayor Matteson, second by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, to appropriate funds for the establishment of Vandalism Reward Program. Council Minutes - 9/24/87 Page 14 Extension of 90 Mayor Matteson stated that he has since received a letter days granted to requesting that the date be extended to December 30, 1987, ITT School until because the building that they are moving into will not be 11/30/87 completed. They will actually be closing the school on the 18th of December and want until the 30th of December to move out. CC-87-188 Motion by Mayor Matteson, second by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen. Councilmember Evans stated that it was never the intent of the City to force ITT School out, that he has heard the City wants to welcome them with open arms. He asked if they would consider moving back into Grand Terrace if they can work something out with the Victor Construction Project. Bill Miles Mr. Miles stated the situation with Victor Construction and the 10437 San decision making was that they did not have enough time to wait Antonio, for Victor Construction. It has come down to timing, as they Colton are requiring more classroom space. He stated that they felt it was in their best interest because of timing to leave the City of Grand Terrace although, they have looked extensively for more space, before coming to Council. Councilmember Evans asked if Council were to take action that would say you could stay and if there are available facilities in that building contingent upon finding other suitable locations within the Terrace, would you go with that? I� Mr. Miles stated that they would seriously consider it, but parking is a major consequence. Councilmember Evans stated that they have until December 30, 1987, and suggested staff closely coordinate with ITT and Victor Construction in a timely fashion the possibility of keeping the school in the Terrace. Mayor Matteson stated that they already have a lease. Councilmember Evans stated that leases can be broken. Mr. Miles stated that Grand Terrace had worked and cooperated with them to the extent beyond reasonableness and they are very thankful for that. Mayor Matteson asked Council to cast their votes. Motion CC-87-188 carried ALL AYES.
